Further details have emerged about the conclusion of Monday Night RAW's 'PG Era.'

WWE altered its television viewing guidelines to a TV-PG rating in 2008. During this time, the company ensured the viewing content was family-friendly by removing controversial terminology from their content. The 'Attitude Era,' which took place between 1997 and 2002, had a TV-14 rating and is considered one of the historic years of WWE.

Vince McMahon took on the role of a heel' while other prominent superstars like Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, The Rock, The Undertaker, and many more played crucial roles in the company.

A few hours ago, it was reported that RAW's PG Era would conclude on July 18. The company will revert to the TV-14 rating.

Recently, Andrew Zarian of The Mat Men Podcast claimed that a memo on the USA Network regarding the date "was sent out prematurely." The date was not yet finalized.
